The Smultron V-neck cardigan is worked from the top down in a seamless construction and features a European shoulder and double knit button band. The cuffs and hems are finished with a delicate 1x1 rib detail. The overall fit of the cardigan is tailored but not too fitted so it can easily be worn over another garment or on its own.

Please note: I do my best to create size inclusive patterns. As a small, independent designer I do not always manage to find test knitters for all sizes of my pattern. Sizes 1-7 have been thoroughly test-knit. If you would like to knit a size which has not been test knit, please let me know and I will send you the pattern free of charge.
